...outside diameter. Last week British Physicist John B. Adams, chief of CERN's Proton Synchrotron Division, ordered slight corrections in the magnetic field, watched as the protons sped faster and faster around their circular track inside the doughnut, triumphantly saw the oscillograph's curve reach 29 Bev, putting CERN's machine far ahead of the ten-Bev Russian accelerator at Dubna...
CERN will rule the roost in high-energy physics until the 30-Bev machine at Brookhaven National Laboratory goes into operation next year. It may be tops even then; Dutch-born Professor Cornelius Bakker, CERN's director, thinks that his machine can be revved up to Brookhaven's energy of 30 Bev...
...meager prospect of reward left no room for fun or friendship last week as eyes watered and red noses ran from the cold. Bev Hanson hesitated for one nervous afternoon in the second round and dropped to fourth, came back next day to grab the lead. She finished with a 72-hole total of 299, coasting home in her dandy underwear to her first Titleholders title, five strokes in front of Texan Betty Dodd, eight ahead of Defender Berg...
...Dubna near Moscow has gone into operation and is generating protons with 8.3 billion electron-volts of energy. This beats the 6 billion-volt Bevatron at Berkeley, Calif, by a comfortable margin, and the Russian scientists are confident that their machine will soon reach its designed power of ten Bev...
...Russians will hold the high-energy title until the completion, probably in 1960, of the 25-Bev machine now under construction at Brookhaven. It will be big (840 ft. in diameter), but its greatly increased power will be made possible by a new principle called "strong focusing." It will need 500 tons of copper and only a small amount of steel...
